The Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BC SPCA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and enhancing the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in British Columbia. Branches work with the community to provide services such as cruelty investigations, sheltering and adoption, emergency rescue and treatment, humane education, advocacy, wildlife rehabilitation and a wide range of other programs to help animals. The BC SPCA offers school education programs, youth camps, public awareness campaigns and lobbies municipal governments to create bylaws (PDF) for mandatory spaying and neutering, licensing and other aspects of responsible pet guardianship.
